Chronic pain is a general term for pain that has been going on for months or years and can affect all parts of the body. Commonly, because of this, it can lead to psychiatric illnesses like depression and anxiety. Sometimes it can be the other way around in which chronic pain can be a symptom of psychiatric suffering from stress, depression, or anxiety. This longterm pain can be constant or it can come and go, but it truly takes a toll on your daily life, such as working, family time, social activities, and ability to take of yourself or others you care about.
